• Person Specification

Client & Account Management – the role requires someone who knows how to handle clients with high expectations. Someone who can expand on current relationships as well as building new ones. An individual that is more than happy to go the extra mile to ensure a client is delighted.
Commercial/Financial Acumen – You need to understand that whilst the client staying happy is the number one focus, when all is said and done, this is a business. You will understand costs within the sector and know what a good deal looks like. You’ll be great with numbers and be able to show this through the art of spreadsheet and reports.
Experienced & Expert – the role requires someone who has been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Maybe you’ve been doing this previously, but your company wouldn’t listen to your ideas or didn’t make you feel appreciated. This needs someone who is strong technically, especially in commercial heating ( HVCA ) and can act as a trusted advisor to clients on what’s best for their buildings.
